SUPER BOWL 34 (January 30, 2000 at Atlanta)
ST. LOUIS RAMS (15-3) 23, TENNESSEE TITANS (16-3) 16 - Mike Jones tackled Kevin Dyson at the 1-yard line as time expired, preserving the Rams' first-ever Super Bowl title. The Rams drove inside the Titans' 20 with each of their first six possessions, but compiled just 3 field goals and 1 touchdown to take a 16-0 lead. Holder Mike Horan's bobbled snap averted a 35-yard field-goal attempt to conclude the Rams' first drive. The Titans responded with a 42-yard drive, their longest of the half, but Al Del Greco missed a 47-yard attempt. Jeff Wilkins added 3 field goals and missed a 34-yard attempt while the Titans did not threaten the rest of the half, giving the Rams a 9-0 lead at the intermission despite outgaining the Titans in total yards (294-89). Tennessee drove 43 yards with the second half's opening kickoff, but Todd Lyght blocked Del Greco's 47-yard attempt to keep the Titan's off the board. Kurt Warner's 31-yard pass to Isaac Bruce keyed the ensuing drive that was capped by Warner's 9-yard touchdown pass to Torry Holt with 7:20 left in the third quarter to give the Rams a 16-0 lead. The Titans responded with touchdown drives in excess of seven minutes on each of their next two possessions. Steve McNair's 23-yard scramble set up Eddie George's 1-yard run in the final minute of the third quarter. McNair's 2-point conversion pass to Frank Wycheck was incomplete, but the Titan's defense forced a punt and the offense drove 79 yards in 13 plays, highlighted by 21-yard passes to Isaac Byrd and Jackie Harris, and capped by George's 2-yard run to cut the deficit to 16-13 with 7:21 remaining. The Rams once again failed to get a first down, and following a punt, the Titans needed just 28 yards to set up Del Greco's game-tying 43-yard kick with 2:12 left. On the next play from scrimmage, Warner fired a deep pass down the right sideline to Bruce, who caught the ball at the Titan's 38, cut toward the inside, and outran the defense to the end zone to give the Rams a 23-16 lead with 1:54 left. The Titans drove downfield, and McNair avoided a sack and completed a 16-yard pass to Kevin Dyson to place Tennessee at the Rams' 10 with six seconds remaining. With no timeouts, McNair attempted a quick pass to a slanting Dyson, who caught the ball in stride at the Rams' 3. However, Jones reacted quickly and stepped up to tackle Dyson at the 1-yardline as time expired. Warner, who was named the game's most valuable player, was 24 of 45 for a Super Bowl-record 414 yards and 2 touchdowns. Bruce had 6 catches for 162 yards, and Holt had 7 for 109 yards. McNair was 22 of 26 for 214 yards. The Titans were the first team to come back from a 16-point deficit.
RFL PLAYOFFS - SEMI-FINALS
June 12 - MOBILE (6-2) 35, Toledo (3-5) 14 (2873) - After the Mobile owners agreed to pay the Cannon starters $1,000 and reserves $500, the game finally kicked off nearly an hour late. The smallest crowd of the season in Mobile saw the Admirals fall behind 7-0 before taking control. Sherman Williams scored on a 66-yard run and ended up with 147 yards as the Admirals broke it open with 21 unanswered points in the second half.
June 12 - HOUSTON (6-2) 27, Mississippi (4-4) 3 - The Outlaws defense dominated the game and continually frustrated the Mississippi offense. The Outlaws took a 7-0 lead on a Josh LaRocca 11-yard touchdown strike to Keivi Baker. After recovering an onside kick, Josh LaRocca threw a second touchdown pass of 4-yards to Baker to make it a 14-0 game. Pride players blamed the loss on part to pay issues.
RFL BOWL I (Saturday June 19, 1999 at Mobile - 5,571)
MOBILE ADMIRALS (7-2) 14, HOUSTON OUTLAWS (7-2) 12 - Behind the rushing of Sherman Williams and the arm of quarterback Frank Costa, Mobile was able to jump out to a 14-3 halftime advantage. Williams plowed in from 2 yards out with 5:56 remaining in the opening quarter. Costa connected with receiver Kevin Lee on an 18-yard touchdown pass with 10:56 until halftime. The Outlaws rallied to within two points with 8:56 left to play when tailback Claude Mathis rushed into the end zone from 3 yards out. Despite a failed two-point conversion that would have tied the contest, the Outlaws fought to the bitter end. With a little more than a minute remaining in the ballgame, Houston faced a fourth-and-10. Mobile's defense stepped up to the plate, batting down a pass at the line of scrimmage.
INTERNATIONAL FOOTBALL FEDERATION - The league, which would play in the spring of 2000, had 13 proposed franchises - New York, Chicago, Detroit, Boston, Denver, Anaheim, Los Angeles, Toronto (Turbos), San Jose, Houston, Hartford (Connecticut Patriots) and Hawaii. WHA founder Dennis Murphy and Edward Litwack, the league's president and chief executive officer, acknowledged having preliminary discussions with NBC and Turner Broadcasting, the networks that lost out in the $18 billion NFL contract negotiated in 1998. Entertainer Dionne Warwick was identified as a part owner of the two franchises in Southern California. The league was never heard from after its first press conference.
TURNER-NBC FOOTBALL LEAGUE - First unveiled in May 1998, the new league would begin in eight cities, including New York, Los Angeles, Boston, Philadelphia, Atlanta, as well as in mid-sized markets such as Salt Lake City, Orlando,and Birmingham. The league would target the smaller markets to ensure a strong fan base, essential for survival, according to league executives. The schedule would extend 12 to 16 weeks, likely starting in July or August to avoid too much overlap with the NFL, which starts in September. Ad execs said they liked the July-September time frame because of a dearth of major sports at that time of year, except for baseball. The networks said they were looking at a start in 1999 or 2000, but the proposed league, which had grown to 12 franchises, folded when the two networks worked out a $1.2 billion deal with NASCAR. NBC and Turner entered into six-year contracts with NASCAR beginning in 2001 that would provide sports programming for Sundays in July and August that would conflict with the proposed schedule of a summer football league. NBC did cast its lot with the XFL in 2001 and found itself on the end of the worst ratings in sports television history.
XTREME FOOTBALL LEAGUE (INDOOR) - The formation of the league was announced at an April 1999 news conference in Birmingham. The plans were to begin play in April 2000 with 10 to 12 teams committed by June 1. The XFL's playing season would be April through August. Alabama sports entrepreneur Art Clarkson would serve as acting Commissioner of the league as well as own the Tennessee Valley (Huntsville, AL) franchise. Clarkson named the cities that had already committed: Birmingham, Greenville (SC), Tennessee Valley (Huntsville, AL), Jacksonville, Norfolk (VA), Pensacola, Richmond (VA), Roanoke (VA) and Tallahassee (FL). Other cities that were considered: Charleston (SC), Fayetteville (NC), Winston-Salem (NC). By June 1999, Biloxi (MS), Greensboro (NC), Lafayette (LA) and Little Rock (AR) were also mentioned as possible franchise sites. In July 1999, it was announced that the Xtreme Football League would merge with arenafootball2, with the XFL teams from Birmingham, Greenville (SC), Tennessee Valley (Huntsville, AL), Jacksonville, Norfolk (VA), Pensacola, Richmond (VA), Roanoke (VA) and Tallahassee (FL) would be joining the previously committed AF2 teams from Little Rock, Oklahoma City, Quad Cities (IL/IA) and Tulsa (OK). The XFL members each paid $150,000 to enter the af2.
